Mr.. Boyd, an English engineer, who
has just returned from thorough in.
vestigation of the Panama Canal,
states, in a paper read before the En-
gineers' Society, that not one-ffth Of
the work required to be done to com.

take, he says, at least 100000, 900
francs to complete it, in addition to
amounts already spent, which, in the
absence of accounts, he surmises is
1000, 900, 900 francs. If all the money
needed is forthcoming, twelve years,

will pass through the canal at the sea
level, since in the future the rate Of
excavation will be reduced rather than
accelerated.-C Chicago Journal,
